Installing a chip set?

bdevy · #1 07-12-2003, 05:02 PM

Ok I just received an intel chipset with an 800mhz front side bus. Just the chipset. Where can I buy a motherboard that doesn't already have a chipset? I'd like to utilize yhis to upgrade my ageing Dell.

You will be very very lucky to find an ultra modern board without the chipset already built on.

PC Club has them. Several online stores. Or find a local custom builder to buy one from.

Can you post a link to one of these boards, I am interested in the price difference between complete and skeleton boards.

Cheers

I looked & can't find the site I was talking about. I hope I wasn't dreaming it.

I have searched all the major hardware retailers in the UK and cannot find anyone that does skeleton mobos.

I found a place in the USA that has bare mother boards. I didn't think I was dreaming.

This is there e-mail add. They said they would be happy to help. LooseChippings, this is a small store local to me. I would bet there is a smal store like this in the UK.
